And Many More Tools! Many more useful weather, Sunrise, and Sunset tools are also included. Some of the tools and features listed above require a premium subscription. Premium subscription is $1.99 monthly and can be purchased in-app. That's less than the price of one large coffee, every month! Each subscription help us to continue app development and make the app even better.

Why do we charge a premium subscription for enhanced features? Every time a Sunrise or Sunset prediction is made on your end, we have to pay a weather company a lot of money to access their data! Yeah we could launch our own weather satellite into orbit, but at an average cost of $500 million USD, that's kind of really expensive! To keep SkyCandy running for all, we offer a premium subscription plan of only $1.99 monthly which gives you access to a lot of enhanced features. That's less than the price of one large cup of coffee per month and each subscription is greatly appreciated from the SkyCandy team to help keep the app running for all.

Got an idea to make the app even better, or is the app missing a tool that you would like to see implemented? No problem, just shoot us an e-mail (admin@173.199.123.230) and we can add it!
